From my 5 year experience playing runescape.
This was the only happiness i got from life, ever since my friend introduced me to runescape, i was hooked, had trouble with school, got fired from work, problems with family, friends hated me. Basically thats what runescape did for me while i played it, even though i was extreme top player, it ruined my life.
And take my word of advice, do not start this game, if you do you will fall into an endless black hole that will swallow you and not let go. It will addict you for long time.
Through much effort and help of my friends, i have finally gotten off this game, and is basically now game free, and off to enjoy the best of life and what it has to offer.
runescape is very addictive do not even try to play it. it will ruin your life.

A noobish game that teens play.. they fight and get swords and other random things.. In order to pass the tutorial you need to cook shrimp and do other stuff..

It's addictive
Girl: Hey uhm.. You wanna go out later?
Boy: Can't Im trying to get onto Level 87 on Runescape..
Girl: That game is so gay..
Boy: You said Runescape was gay? I HATE YOU! I never wanna see you again!

Person 1: ..I just went on Runescape >.<
Person 2: Fuck me, even Habbo is better than Runescape!

jesus where can i start,
1.annoying 12 year olds.
2.nerds who think they are popular because they have 50 people in their clan that only like them cuz of there "mage".
3.people who talk tough behind the computer because they cant say stuff to your face.
4.more addicting then heroine, crack, and cocaine combined.
I used to play this lame ass game, it really touched my social life to where i would want to stay home instead of go make out with girls at the movies or something sweet. I managed to quit and I havent played in about a year and i really dont miss it. Don't even try it out, if you see an ad with runescape on it close the damn page. I even paid to become a member, and my friends never found out i played because if they did i would become a loser. since i quit i gained 53 pounds of muscle and have a really hot girlfriend, and am a sophomore in high school playing varsity basketball, all because i quit and found better things to do in life. Seriously in this game they all call people noobs which makes them sound like a homosexual, you go into this place called varrock where in the center you will find people paying runescape money for someone to be their girlfriend, only to be crushed when there "girlfriend" runs off with the money or turns out to be a boy. I actually saw a case where in the back of some block looking castle (aka lumbridge castle) a dude had payed 3m gp for a girl to become his girlfriend. heres what i saw

boy: i gave you 3m gp so i guess your my gf now
girl: i have to tell you something.
boy: what??
girl: IM A BOY! YOU'VE JUST BEEN PUNK'D
*girl runs off with money*
boy: i spent 3 months fishing to get that money!

i seriously fell off my chair laughing
if you play runescape too long, your balls will fall off and be put on the wall by a 50 year old virgin male!

no! just no. this game killed my life, and drove me away from my family. i was like "it's jus a game, my mates play it will be fun".

then i had this crazy urge to start paying to play. then i couldn't stop. when i quit it was like a drug, calling me. i couldn't stop, i can't stop.

it is so shit, but its worse than cigarettes (uh i quit them easy like) and every time i play im bored shitless, but i think to myself, oh 5 more minuted won't hurt and 8 hours have passed and im still there.
friend 1: hey u coming out?
dave: nah im busy wc, sorry maybe later.
friend 2; (on the phone) hey mate you wanna come chop down some tree in real life, my dad gave me an axe.
dave: sos im cutting trees on runescape
friend 3: you wanna come out, ill pay you.
dave: nah im earning cash on runescape.
friend 3: just use an autoer
dave: oh yeh k.
friend 3: ill knock brt
(8 hours later) dave: omg woot 5 magic logs woot im rich!
next day dave is banned and hangs himself.

1. An MMORPG set in a medieval time frame, with skills to improve, mini-games to play, and is often filled with stupid people calling each other noobs to feel better about themselves.

2. Anything that is really addictive and devours your soul.
1. I'm gonna go play Runescape all night long.

2. Runescape is such a runescape

I work frequently, pay my bills, and have plenty of friends...and I play Runescape. To me, the game is quite relaxing...I might just log on to kill a round of blue dragons, netting me 14 dragon bones and 14 dragonhides. Net total of around 4k gold each kill. Then I might just do something else. I have had countless people over to play on my computer network (two computers, two laptops)...and I feel it is extremely rewarding to help them with their characters. Maybe it is something as simple as providing them with 'full iron' equipment to start with. While the simple cows were killing them before, now they are not.

Even my little niece loves the game, and it has certainly made her more computer savvy...is that a bad thing? How about the cultural exposure? I have met and talked with people from Australia, England, and Canada...all with different dialects. I'm college educated...I started playing MUDS, it didn't ruin my life...in fact it enhanced my typing speed so much that I easily landed jobs doing data entry. This made me actual money.

And think of runescape like 'Economics' 101...it forces you to budget, for if you don't you won't be able to buy that nice shiny whip. You could later apply to be a used car salesperson, because people had attempted to scam you in every possible way, so you became insanely street smart.

Do NOT stay on the same skill, or you will burnout fast. Choose a skill like slayer, and stick with that.

I invent large chess variants, and I play piano for weddings, and I enjoy runescape...it certainly doesn't make you a loser. My other friend would have webcam chats with girls he met on Runescape...what's wrong with that? I'd say that he's meeting MORE people because of the game.

To all you who denigrate this game, please just think more carefully. It is what you make of it.

I'm not playing right now because grinding dragon bones gives me carpal tunnel, rofl!
Newbie: Plz plz, I need gold
Me: Work on your smithing
Newbie: I can't be bothered (australian phrase), mining is boring too.

Runescape, the other white meat.
